Why are you taking that tone with me? The OP said that AA required people to hire unqualified people.

You are so opposed to AA that you are insulting people who are correcting the OP. Why are you aggressive towards me, who was right, when the OP said something idiotic?

Why are you assuming that the person who is not a white male is automatically unqualified? This also means you are assuming that every white male is qualified.

I worked many yrs for the City of N.Y. and witness this Aff. Action B.S. 1st hand.....I have seen people passed over for promotion many times because they were NOT the right color or backround.
That has happened to black people countless hundreds of times in our history.
Quote:

All that comes out of Aff. Action is a less productive work force,plain and simple! I say this not because minorities are less qualified (because some liberal fool will say this is what I mean) but if you educated people instead of giving hand outs we would have a work force that would rival any in the world. Instead Aff. Action rewards the less educated and punishes the people who tried hard to get educated and move up in the work force.
Absolute bs. It has even been determined in your own state that the state itself has purposefully undereducated people in NYC and other urban areas. So if minorities are undereducated, and the work force suffers for it, it is directly the fault of the state.

He's been branded a RINO; so much for respecting honor, service and bravery.
in the liberal world, 'respecting honor, service and bravery' necessitates ignoring reality and posting six-year-old links.

Has Powell's view on AA changed?

So you have nothing to say to the point. Just pathetic and shameful attempts at distraction.

I find it funny that liberals seem to not have read the O.P. very carefully......or they did read it carefully but now are trying to put the typical liberal spin on things..O well.

It is you who must be the racist...I was speaking of A.A. and promoting people who do not pass tests or what have you but get promoted anyway...Did I ever say whites were smarter?...no I did not.

See typical liberal B.S spin...

But you only cast aspersions on the qualifications of nonwhites......not whites who get promoted despite their incompetence. Yeah, I must be the racist.

The point is, we just got our first "affirmative action President", and the nation is in utter ruins. He cheerfully hires tax cheats (Geithner), racists (Stotameyer), retards (Biden) and the unethical(Clinton). I'd quit this discussion before you really embarras yourself IDAHOAGIE.
